Valenzuela became the 12th player to have his number retired by the Dodgers and was inducted into the Dodger Stadium Ring of Honor, becoming the 14th person to join the exclusive club.
Valenzuela's No. 34 remained unretired for years due to the team's policy of only retiring numbers of Hall of Fame players, making this event special and emotional for him.
Valenzuela, a six-time All-Star and Cy Young Award winner, was instrumental in growing the Dodgers' fanbase, particularly within the Mexican community, earning the nickname 'El Toro.'
